July Blog o’ Blogs
Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the IMF, leads off our blog collection with a look at the potentially large impact on antitrust from the financial reform bill, then Hong Kong’s antitrust bill gets a decidedly unenthusiastic reception. We follow with close looks at the high cost of antitrust litigation and behavioral economics’ migration from the ivory tower to the FTC. Google gets punished in France for being a good citizen, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan opines on how she might view foreign law precedence, and Apple & Google become the chief suspects in a dime store crime novel. Our final blog recounts a humorous moment at the DOJ, but leaves the question: Should you really be able to understand government memos?
